Red Dawn, I feel comfortable that the program is ok -- it is The New Interpreter's Study Bible,comercially purchased. The installation instruction say to make sure to close all running programs, especially anti-virus software. Obviously, i'm not very good at this but your help will certainly be appreciated. Slaty
I would like to second Red Dawn's skepticism here. Granted, many (most?) installers "advise" [but do not actually require/demand] you to close down any open windows (running applications). Personally, I don't know that I ever have followed that "advice" --- not even with major updates (e.g., from XP SP1 to SP2, or from SP2 to SP3; from IE6 to IE7 to IE8) --- and I have yet to encounter any problems in so doing.
It's inconceivable to me why a Bible program would require that you disable your anti-virus in order to install it. I'm not saying it's impossible --- there could be something very unusual about that particular program --- but unless/until they offer a good reason, I would remain skeptical.
ky331 and Red Dawn, I took your skepticism to heart and installed without disabling anti-virus program and everything went fine. Thanks for the help. Slaty
